    We were miles better than Aalborg twice, Boruc had nothing to do in Villarreal bar pick an ill gotten free kick from the back of the net and we were unlucky not to hold on to all 3 points at Parkhead against Man United.

    We've been over-achieving for 2 seasons, this is what reality feels like.
     
  2. First person I've heard who would be happy to get rid of Robson. He was outstanding last night. Another 3 who were outstanding last night were Nakamura, Wilson and Hinkle. Also Venegoor? You're mad.


    I'd like to put to the main negative crowd on this thread - how would you feel if we won the SPL this year and maybe snuck in a cheeky cup?
     
  3. No we weren't. We were lucky to draw imo.

    They were all over us, they deserved to win and should have with Berba's chance.

    Don't expect significant strengthening in January when we should be playing with a full squad and no Europe.

    You're a Man United fan though.......:87:
     
    No The teams not acceptable in Europe. Teams like Porto and Fenerbache are better than us now and getting better every year whereas we get worse with the amount of money we spend:38:
     
  6. this is for chivs, if u dont like it dont fuckn go mate, we all no celtic are * compared to ther big teams in europe and yes celtic should be raping teams like aolborg but am 1 of these guys that go to every game the 1s you say are wasting their money but theres * all we can do! john collins r u having a laugh, John hughes dont be silly! ive never liked strachan from the start tactics are pish we all know this, but there no were near the manager that strachan is as much as a hate to say it!
    As for lastnite, sick of saying it but we were unlucky, now a was just as angry as you with samaras but he isnt fit clear to see. but i refuse to give these * stuff to laugh about cause i honestly think that was 1 of our best performances away from home! if that was oneill in charge celtic would a romped that with the same squad!
    Problem is were no goin to get another manager like oneill whos celtic minded!
     
  7. I'm a Celtic fan first and foremost. :50:

    But if you don't think they deserved that, you're deluded. What was the possession at full time ?

    what was the shots at goal stats etc...

    they * dominated the match and for you to say we were unlucky not to win is literally funny.

    United had 30 shots, we had 6. they had 13 corners, we had 4. They had 73% of possession, we had 27%. If that isn't domination, I don't know what the * is.

    There's an inevitability about it, that's the worst part.

    We controlled last night as if Aalborg were a run of the mill SPL side. We take the lead and we're still playing better. They then score a deflected goal and it's panic stations, we lack composure and the ability to finish games off, specifically away from home in Europe.

    With any luck this team stays together and we add some genuine European experience in the transfer windows and make a proper go of it next year.

    Hillarious.

    I still stand by what I said, when you lead a match for the entire game (no matter how much possession or whatever your opponent has) and they score right at the death from a shot coming off the keeper it's unlucky.
     
  10. It's not unlucky if they thoroughly deserve to score.

    if a team dominates a match from start to finish and loses 1-0, That's unlucky.
     
  11. Being the biggest spending and arguably best playing team in the world right now I feel * hard done by leading for 99% of the match. Our effort was phenomenal.
     
  12. IN all honesty,Celtic for the last 2 years through being in the champions league have had twice as much money to spend on players than the huns and take the club to the next level.out of sight of any competition in scotland.We are fukin struggling to beat Hamilton caley thistle and the likes,injuries beside our reserves should be beating the afore mentioned.we get the 3rd highest attendances in the uk every second week,we have more season ticket holders than any othe club in the uk bar man utd,that money is guaranteed every fukin year,yet the board are quite happy to sit back and make us watch this * week in week out,we dont have an out and out striker who can win us big games they are second rate,instead of building what we had i.e larsson,sutton,hartson,petrov we have been set back years its a fukin disgrace.Yes we have won the last 3 titles,but agains what.Are we years ahead of the huns are we *.If we dont spend decent money in January and get the basics right we deserve everything we get.ffs aalborg 110,000 population,ground capacity 14,000.what a fukin joke.

    We were unlucky not to hold on for another ten minutes and win the match at Parkhead, that's my opinion.

    If you believe otherwise fine but as I said you have split loyalties, I don't.
     
  14. No I don't.

    I went crazy when WE scored, and went crazy with rage when THEY scored.

    even if I did have split loyalties, which I don't, the statistics don't lie.

    stop trying to make out you're the greatest fan in the world.
     
  15. What a sickener.

    I thought we played reasonably well, although the game was scrappy at times, and we deserved to win. Missed chances in the first half cost us and I feel sorry for Caldwell.
     
  16. In this post you've shown a complete disregard for the quality of the SPL (and let me throw in that against those sides we were injured to * and still got results), you've shown a complete inability to grasp the financial situation of us compared to England, you claim we are made to watch "*" week in week out when this is one of our best footballing sides we've had in the past 2 decades. You claim McDonald and Vengoor are second rate and can't do it against the big sides but if i recall correctly Venegoor got a crucial goal against a Man United side verging on European Champions and McDonald got the winner against an AC Milan side who were either Champions of Europe or were to go on to be that.

    You've highlighted Larsson as a player we've failed to replace and obviously by this point I'm starting to wonder. You've pointed out we've failed to replace Hartson and Sutton who were £6 million a pop. What would you have us do to improve? Have us spend £7 million per striker?

    Finally - you want to spend big in January? For what exactly? How are we to improve on a 11 match win streak? We could go to January still winning every single game and apparently by your logic, failure to spend in that window would be a disgrace?

    Read my post. Read the points and tell me there is no sense there. Then take those points, keep them in mind for next time you go to Parkhead and get behind the * team.
     
  17. if you believe the quality we have now is fitting for us to achieve and do well in europe,keep taking the drugs,and dont fukin tell me how to support my team.

    Statistics? The one's that show we led the game for the entire match? Stats don't win matches mate.

    Stop trying to troll a reaction, you said you're a Man United fan last night and now you're back pedalling. I made out nothing.
     
  19. This is for you, most managers would have won 3 in a row and got us to the last 16 mate!!! all against poor rangers sides, no challenge apart from last year!!!! BEST AWAY PERFORMANCE???thats because we pushe dfurther up the pitch than usual beacuse we were up against * opposition!!! because am 12 and a half stone and still faster than all our defenders!!! bottom line is mate weak defenders get exposed in europe so do weak managers, * unlucky ffs what age are you 12 or something am just saying pal am sick of seeing us gettting anayaleted away from home, every time a go out with the boys it just frustrates the life oot you when you get beat and beat especially when that team were there for the taking. so * unlucky we have hall heard that excuse tyo many times in europe:icon_mrgreen:
